There is no big secret to metronome use. Practice what you usually practice, but figure what the tempo is and play it to the metronome. Play it with the metronome faster than usual, play it with the metrnonome slower than usual. These will all help improve your time. And don't think you are locked in to having the metronome count for quarter notes. Set the metronome to half your normal speed and play with the metronome on beats 1 & 3 or 2 & 4. Set the metronome to twice your normal speed and learn to feel the subdivisions. You can even set it o three times normal and have a triplet feel.
